"I want to ride it, not build it!" Ducati MotoGP rider gives thoughts on the data available in 2022

In this interview from late 2019 Jack Miller explains what goes into winning a MotoGP race in the modern era. With more data available than every before, how hard it is to just be a racer who is focused only on racing the motorcycle? And is it a disadvantage compared to riders that are heavily focused on the data side of the sport.

Why the fuck does this channel get no clout man I just can’t wrap my head around it

[@chadwells7562]

Just found it, immediately liked and subscribed. I listen to a bunch of MotoGP stuff, this is one of the best I’ve found.

[@josephruck1]

Yes it's excellent, interviews are the tits

[@Likeaworm]

Dude this channel is fucking amazing 👏

[@deanharriss2029]

My exact comment on one of his other video 👊

[@gregorykardos4579]

Great podcast. All of them.

[@kylegoodman5196]

What he's describing is one of the most beautiful things about motorcycle racing. Unlike car racing, where the data can trump the driver and the engineer knows best, in motorcycle racing of any kind the engineer never knows best and the data does not trump everything the rider knows. Because you could have all the data in the world that your bike can perform better than anyone else's but if the rider isn't feeling it the bike won't even cross the line.

[@yamahakid450f]

It's great for everyday riders, atleast some things like traction control will make it super difficult to step out on a weekend cruise but for a racer I think less is better, I want my clutch and throttle to be my traction control like on my motocross bike, I don't want mine to "de tune" itself in certain situations. I don't use my traction control on starts either, I hate it... I don't like the rear holeshot device either, just on the fork. I do like different map options if it's hard pack with more wheel spin tone down the throttle response but when it's chocolate cake I want it aggressive and always right there with more top end over Rev, I ride all my bikes like a 2 stroke, I never could lug a bike unless it was my 300Xcw in the woods for technical rocky hillclimbs, otherwise I'm agressive like I'm on a 125, thats why 450s don't fit my style, I can't ride a 450 like that, it's just too much even as a decent local A rider and AA in enduro. I want the new electric bike, it won't be as good in sand without that rotating mass but it'd be awesome everywhere else. I'll always have my Eric Gorr built 125&250 2 strokes and a 350 4 stroke but electric would be sick, instant torque no matter when you want it and no noise so no worrying about neighbors or going incognito to go poach a a public spot, that'd the best part, Hill has got me dying to go hit stuff around my place in oklahoma haha. I found a sick road gap over the highway I think would work, I haven't seen the actual face to know for sure but from the road it looks like it'd be perfect, just some shoveling after a rain.. this red clay is like concrete when it dries out

[@johnnybgood774]

@@kylegoodman5196 Williams was the Mercedez of their time. They won back to back title, if they had Schumacher on that car they would be winning 5 championship while Schumacher's car was always almost a second slower. Moto Gp is exciting, but to say itsnot down to driver is kind of ignorant. Hamilton is dominating while his teamte Bottas is average every year. I hope you get the point

[@weofnjieofing]

This is why Jack Milker has not been successful in MotoGP. Unable to get his head around the electronics and setting the bike up correctly.

Today I watched the Portimão GP 2024 where the Acosta, in his very first race, overtook Miller, who has been there for nine whole years, with the exact same bike. This video explains it all. The Italians are nerdy, the Spaniards are instinctive, Stoner was the sum of everything, Miller is... lazy.

[@stevenspilly]

[@dastrix80]

Yeah the over talking each other is a bit annoying lol!

No he’s a good interviewer. At least he asks good questions and reacts like a real person not a robot reporter

[@stevenspilly]

@@Bluepillphil-d1w yea people tune in to hear about his jiu jitsu, not about MotoGP riders experiences. Talking over your guests is annoying and dumb. If he thinks he's the draw, why doesn't he do a video without a guest and see how many people watch. You might.

[@captaintoyota3171]

I see ppl saying he "interrupts" all the time. Saying "yeah, um, hmm, oh ,ahh" while other person is talking isnt interupting. I really dont see this guy as irritating interupting, these guys are communicating , both are ok with allmost talking and bouncing ideas pff each other without finishing. That said i guess some ppl havent heard an actual annoying interupter.

[@ENDWOKEDEGENERACY]

@@captaintoyota3171no he likes talking. Interviewing isn’t about talking it’s about listening.

[@kirilnachev8032]

You build it I ride it is the most stupid comment I have ever heard from a professional racer. That is why you will never be a champion like Vale or Marquez or Schumacher or Senna, those people were sitting for hours and hours with engineers trying to solve the problems and here is mister big star too good for this.

Oooow new channel! Only seen a couple of interviews but the content has been spot on! Genuinely interesting as fuck!..sorry, let me translate as I’m English .. Oooow?? New channel?? Only seen a couple of interviews but the content has been spot on?? 🤣 gotta love the Ozzie’s and since Cal left I’ve been team Miller pretty much. Don’t know why but I’ve always liked the ozzy riders. Not deliberately. Just even as a kid it was Wayne Gardner then Doohan. If there’s no decent English lads in the class I tend to go ozzy

[@damon123jones]

This is the most insightful information I've ever heard about motor GP wow I've been following it for 15 years

[@Niex_Knox]

Jacks results keep frustrating. I am thinking looking at those lines may just be the difference. A rider is no engineer, but the way he describes it is not how I seen the best riders communicate with their chief engineer. "I want more grip", is not really making it easy for your engineer.

[@furdstahmania]

Probably why his results are frustrating. The guy just doesn't want to sit down and do the work. The nitty gritty work.

[@andreabrembilla6466]

The title is a little misleading, 'data avaiable in 2022' but Jack here was in Pramac, a satellite team, in 2019, waiting to ride the 2020 bike. 'Data avaiable in the modern MotoGP era' would be a better fit imho.

[@701_ben]

Yep 100%, was all good until 6:50 I started getting confused at him saying Pramac lol

[@GYPSYTALES]

KZbin only gives you 100 characters for a title so sometimes we just got to make it work.

[@mig2546]

Jack is a legend bloke been around the North Queensland riders. Not only is he a true Aussie bloke he’s a badass on a dirtbike and a GP bike

[@purotito88]

Not trying to be offensive but the best of the best riders/drivers are the ones who don’t only ride/drive they are the ones who also deeply engaged in developing it. There is a saying, “you can teach a monkey to ride a bike but let’s see you teach him to fix it.” Something along those lines.

[@minerva2558]

Jack is the shite. I hope he gets a championship soon.

i kinda get what he's trying to say but knowing and working the data is just another edge over your next opponent. Also, while "give me more power" could work on some occasions, being able to break it down and communicate it properly to your Engineer and mechanic is best.

[@superbikemike]

great interview... very informative... 👍👍👍

[@Bluepillphil-d1w]

Great interview mate, very genuine back and forth between the two. Usually interviews are plastic and fake. Jack’s observation of the Spanish riders is interesting. Shows you how well he has done to make it to that level, especially in the moto3 days to get to the top quite quickly amongst kids who have been tutored from a very young age. Guess it goes for all non Spanish riders who do. I went to Spain in the late 90s and couldn’t believe how popular the sport was there. That was when there were only a few Spanish riders in the top class and the narrow cobblestone streets were full of two stroke 125s. They certainly ramped it up since then.

[@humandroid53]

These are interesting but the interviewer needs to stop reacting so much and could do with less volume. First rule of interviewing is to let the interviewee speak.

[@ancienttechnique5830]

I only wish he’d let the riders talk more. Stop trying to relate so much. This is a once in a lifetime interview and you are providing us with jewels. Please let them talk and stay silent please!!! You ask amazing questions btw and thank you for this ❤

[@bradmarshall8363]

I love everything bikes but I really wish they’d scrap all this electronic shit an go back to man an machine like early 90s 500 2 stroke now that was proper racing

[@mickyzzzeee]

Never happen. They’d get off the bike within 5 minutes and start crying If they had to ride those monsters

[@juanborges8192]

I agree with you 100% but the elephant in the room is why you are pretending to be a girl

[@comontoshi]

In 2023 jack took delivery of some heavy earth moving equipment to as he said “build a dirt bike track . . .” doesn’t appear to me that he’s worried about his MotoGP career. 😎

[@alterglobo]

Miller is right, all the electronic interventions detract from the real thing. It is ridiculous and artificial to have so many parameters, even curve by curve, that don't even have the excuse of being relevant for daily riding. However, he should have said it loud and clear, as Stoner and Márquez did, to some extent. Both used close to no electronics, reportedly, whereas Miller apparently has a massive intervention to cut spin to a mere 5%! Stoner is the GOAT for me, Márquez wasn't far, 8 world titles. Miller... got lazy and complacent.

[@0Zolrender0]

I live in Alice and I want Jack to come and do Finke. He would draw so many people there its not funny.

[@xlr99]

Does Jack feel the same about testing & development in 2022?
